Treehouse Shakers' Artistic Director Mara McEwin, will use simple-story forms, poetry, folklore and rhymes, students learn how to use their own voice, body, and imagination, to create story-dramas for preschool students. Creative drama nurtures developing skills in sequencing, language, communication, problem-solving, and creativity; also helps to promote a positive self-concept, social awareness, empathy, and working as a group. Students will learn vocabulary words connecting them to the art form.

The Littlest Cove is an immersive discovery play for the very young, ages 3-6. Written by Mara McEwin, choreographed by Emily Bunning and devised by the Treehouse Shakers’ company members, Littlest Cove is full of wonder, visuals and tactile interactive experiences.The play follows the lives of 3 unusual creatures, who reside on the edge of a small coastal inlet, off of an island, that no one in the entire world has ever discovered before. Audiences soon discover that they too, are a part of this enchanting world and are immersed in the storytelling through play, exploration and community interactions with the set, props and performers.
